 NB>> We still aren't getting a lot of snow...  just flurries
 NB>> mostly, and it's been quite cold, with windchills below zero... 

 BS> Yesterday morning we got Chinook winds here.  There were tales, i.e.
 BS> newspaper accounts, of people ice skating in their T-shirts.  I know
 BS> somewhere along the line I glanced at the thermometer and the outside
 BS> temperature was 49. 

Well, that IS positively balmy, especially in Alaska...  ;)

 BS> Cooled off overnight and started snowing about 3am
 BS> on top of the newly established ice.  I managed to get to rehab at 9am,
 BS> no snow tires, and stopped for milk/bread about noon on the way home. 
 BS> Based on the roads at that time, and it's still snowing, I expect I
 BS> might have to call a cab for tomorrows rehab session.  But I have hopes
 BS> of driving it, the roads here in the complex are well
 BS> plowed/sanded/maintained and after about 200yds I'm on a major artery
 BS> the city jumps all over early.

And were you able to drive it after all...?  Or did you have to take a
cab....?  I find I'm not as intrepid as I once was, especially with bad
weather... although I usually manage anyway....

 NB>> ... Breakfast in Paris, lunch in Greece, luggage in Japan...

 BS> :-)  Connie and I flew into Honolulu one time from someplace down in
 BS> Oceania.  No suitcase for Bill!  Luckily they caught it in LA and
 BS> brought it back to me, I was told the next stop for that plane was
 BS> London.  That's the only time my bag ever decided to travel on without
 BS> me. 

And thankfully it was caught before it got too far away.... :)  Guess it
learned its lesson... ;)

 BS>> Wine Appreciation Tip: The quality of a wine is inversely proportional
 BS>> to the viciousness of the animal depicted on the label.
 BS>> Jim Weller

Does that mean that if there is a sheep on the label it will be higher
quality... ;)

... Jam on a winter took away the blue devils. It was like tasting summer.
